The University of Western Ontario Faculty Association (UWOFA) is a union representing about 1,500 faculty members and 50 librarians and archivists at the University of Western Ontario in London.
UWOFA negotiates collective agreements, advises members on employment matters, handles workplace disputes and grievances, and advances the professional interests of faculty members, academic librarians and archivists.
In the broader community, UWOFA representatives meet with provincial and federal politicians to ensure members' voices are heard and reflected in education and labour policy decisions. As well, UWOFA strives to engage members and citizens through awareness campaigns regarding post-secondary education during general membership meetings, community events, contact with journalists, and town hall discussions.
Sabbatical Leave FAQ
Some UWOFA members may be turning their attention to completing their Sabbatical Leave application, which is due no later than the second Monday in September. UWOFA has developed a Sabbatical Leave FAQ to help as you plan for your leave.
Note: There are new provisions for certain limited-term members who have a research component to their workload that UWOFA negotiated during the past round of faculty collective bargaining.
